Chapter 123 The Origin of the Stone Carving

"What do you say is in there?" Leah asked Emily secretly in the corner because she was bored.

"It's possible. Maybe it's just an empty secret room." Emily hit the nail on the head.

As the "culprits", the two girls naturally could not leave yet. They were left there, watching others busy running around, and no one came to properly accommodate them for a while.

Those who wanted to help were politely refused, so they just squatted in the corner and chatted.

At this time, Makalu ran out from behind the passage and a group of people immediately surrounded him.

"It's just a simple secret room. I checked it and there's no danger. But Mr. Gunther said he found some antiques. I'm a rough man and don't understand these things, so I thought about coming back to tell him about the situation inside. Mr. Gunther is still confirming these antiques inside. What should the mayor do next?"

Makalu had good eyesight and left the decision to Lewis.

"I didn't expect that I could actually find treasures during a treasure hunt. That's great, very good." Lewis was so excited that he acted as if he had no idea what was going on.

"It just so happens that all the experts are here too. Please give us a favor and go down together to see the quality of these treasures." Lewis laughed and invited the group of experts behind him.

Whether out of giving Lewis face or out of their own curiosity, everyone agreed.

"McCarthy, you arrange the order at the scene, and then pick a few strong men to go down with us. Oh, and if you see Sean, remember to let him in. His ability is very important to us."

Lewis arranged the work. He was surprised that Sean did not show up as planned, but he didn't take it to heart.

He mentioned it unobtrusively so that Sean could break through the blockade and come here later.

Gast's eyes lit up when he heard about Sean's ability, but he quickly concealed it.

"Gaster, are you interested in accompanying my old body in for a look?" Lewis turned around and invited the sponsors of the event.

“That’s what I wanted.” Gast nodded.

Led by McCarthy, a group of people came to the secret room. At this time, Gunther was seriously examining the scene he had carefully faked. From his furrowed brows and focused expression, everyone knew at a glance that the thing he was examining was of great importance.

"You are finally here. Come and see which ancient civilization these stone carvings are related to?" There was an indescribable sense of magic in Gunther's tone.

"Let me take a look." The experts gathered around.

"They are indeed very old and don't look fake, but I am sorry that I can't tell which ancient civilization they are related to."

"It seems to be a completely independent graphic record. How strange!"

"Could this be a written record of an unknown civilization? If so, wouldn't we, as the discoverers, become famous?"

"I don't think so. Maybe these stone carvings were just casually carved by a child. Look at the crooked handwriting on these patterns. It's obvious that they were not made by professional craftsmen."

Several experts discussed and couldn't make up their minds. They turned to look at Petra, who was the most famous. "Ms. Petra, what do you think?"

Ever since Petra entered the secret room and saw the stone carvings, she has never taken her eyes off them.

Seeing that she was too focused to respond, the others called out again, "Ms. Petra?"

This sound brought Ms. Petra back to reality.

"You look so focused, it seems that you have already made up your mind?" It was that tactless guy who asked hurriedly.

"I have only seen records of similar patterns in some ancient books. I never thought I would see such a real object here. It's unbelievable." Petra's exclamation raised the threshold of the experts very high. Everyone looked at her expectantly as she continued to speak.

"We are all insiders, and you should have heard that I was almost expelled from the group because of the collective boycott of my research on dwarven civilization."

Seeing Petra bringing up her embarrassing story again, the experts present could only nod their heads awkwardly, and looked at her in surprise as to why she brought it up. What does this have to do with these stone carvings?

Petra didn't care about this. She paused and continued, "I suspect these stone carvings are the remains of the dwarven civilization. The patterns on them are consistent with the style I saw in ancient books before. They are completely independent of the existing civilization system."

"So these stone carvings are the remains of the dwarven civilization?" Gunther, who was most concerned about the results, asked first.

"I'm 90% sure." Petra gave an almost affirmative answer.

After hearing Petra's affirmation, the experts' enthusiasm was dampened a lot. They did not have Petra's background and strength, so it was better for them to stay out of things like dwarf civilization that was resisted by mainstream academia and protect themselves.

"What a pity, Gunther." Someone sighed and patted Gunther on the shoulder. "Although it is an ancient artifact, the things recorded in it are not recognized, so it has no value."

"Don't lose heart. If you can prove the existence of dwarven civilization and refute the views of mainstream academia, today's discovery will be groundbreaking." Although these were comforting words, the man had unconsciously drawn a line in his words.

Gunther could clearly sense that everyone subconsciously didn't want to get too involved, so he didn't insist any further.

After all, it's not easy for anyone, and not everyone can persist in going against mainstream academia.

"It has value, and it has no value." Now Gunther is also troubled by these stone carvings. How to deal with them is also a problem.

It is impossible to report it proactively. After all, these stone carvings are of no value in the eyes of superiors, and my KPI will not be exceeded as a result. This approach is not feasible.

What will happen to the museum and these stone carvings that have existed in Pelican Town for many years?

Is it true that after all the busyness and effort, in the end, nothing is achieved?

And how did that mysterious man get those stone carvings, and why did he give them to me?

Gunther was briefly confused.

Petra was not affected by the atmosphere at all. She was completely immersed in studying the meaning of the patterns on the stone carvings: "Gunther, I have decided to settle down in Pelican Town."

Because of these stone carvings, Petra became more and more convinced that there was a dwarf civilization buried here, so she planned to change her previous permanent residence to a formal settlement.

"By the way, I will ask my mentor to help me get a title in your museum to facilitate my work. I'll trouble you to help me run the errands then."

"It's a great honor, but the museum will be closed soon, and I'm afraid there will be no staff..." Gunther said with some embarrassment.

"That's easy. My tutor still has some reputation. Many of my seniors have held positions after graduation. I believe that people in the system will give him face if he comes forward." Petra said nonchalantly.

"!" After all the ups and downs, there is a silver lining. From hope to disappointment, and then back to heaven, it has been a series of twists and turns. The question of the museum's survival that has been bothering him has been solved, which makes Gunther feel unreal.

He pinched himself unconsciously, and the real pain made him laugh.

Just as Gunther was surrounded by a huge surprise, Geist, who had been observing the secret room, suddenly shuddered: "Strange, why does it feel colder and colder?"
